Wildlife Underpass Weed Project – Volunteer Day

Three new wildlife underpasses have recently been built along South 89 to help reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions by safely funneling animals beneath the highway. The ground disturbance caused by construction has created ideal conditions for invasive weeds. These invasive weeds can crowd out native plants and deprive wildlife of traditional food sources. If invasive plants become established around these bottlenecks, animals can unintentionally spread seeds from the underpasses into surrounding areas of the national forest.

Play a role in helping control the spread of invasives and spend a fun morning outside in the mountains by volunteering for this project. No experience is needed and all ages are welcome. This is a half-day project.
